World Championship Chat

Does anyone know if there is an official website for the 2007 Spanish World Round on 1st April 2007 at Real Mancha. Thanks

There's another indoor trial on tonight at 10.15 on Eurosport 2 (sky 411) from St. Petersburg, Russia - at least that's what the listings say!!

After two rounds, not only has Tony Bou won, he's won in convincing fashion. Looking at the scores, no-one's been even close. Outside of injury, is Bou going to run away with this year's title? Can Tony Bou be stopped?

There's an indoor trial on Eurosport 2 (sky number 411) tonight at 8.00 (Thursday) from Granada in Spain. Just in case you fancy watching it.

So was it all down to beginners luck and, following on from Raga's win in Marseille, has Bou's Bubble Burst? It was Bou's turn to have a mechanical failure, although nothing major, but it does seem to have affected his confidence, as it affected Raga's in Russia. But can he regain the lead, in what is panning out to be one of the more exciting indoor championship in recent years.

Its great to see that Jarvis, Kuroyama, Nozaki are all making a welcome return to the World Stage, well at least for the Spanish Round. Whether or not they plan to ride any further rounds I don't know. But last years Championship was a little lacking without their prescence. Be also good to see the North East's Michael Phillipson also making the long trip to Andulacia

Any news from WITC No3 in Marseille, has the new king of trial done it again?

According to a french site Jordi Pascuet has signed for Beta and will ride the 4 stroke in World and Spanish Champs. A very underated rider in my opinion, could be good for Beta.

Toni Bou has made it 2 wins from 2 starts in the indoor WTC, with yet again another convincing win. Bou 6 Caby 17 Raga 19

I see that following his switch to TRW Montesa, Dib's website has had a bit of a face lift. Well worth a visit. James Dabill Bike spec seems to refer to the standard 4RT though and not the 300cc rocket propelled factory machine.

Toni Bou won the first World Indoor trial last night beating Raga and Fujinami - not bad for his first time out on the Mont'

Please post a download of the the 1st round indoor.

The indoor series is for the public to pay to watch the worlds best riders perform. Giving the riders 3 minutes to repair their bike and not allowing a spare bike is a poor idea. To knock Cabestany out of the first round surely was not what they intended. He's Spanish!!!!!

Wasn't expecting the result until this evening, but according to Octagon the result is - Bou 5, Raga 15 and Fajardo 28!

Fair enough the indoor series seems to be taking a bit of (deserved) criticism and does not have the prestige or interest it used to have in this country. Probably the blame lies with the Dis-Organisers Octagon, the fact its almost become a Spanish domestic championship and the expected last minute changes. But I would like to wish Dougie the best of luck, on this the eve of the 2007 series. After all he is representing Great Britain. Go Dougie!!!

Just read that Frexia is once again going back to the scorpa and Taddy is on his way to the beta top trial team. A big turn up i think.

Blimey - that came as a shock even to me and I hear most things beforehand. One thing that Dabill lacked last year was a consistent minder. He had a world round minder in the shape of Michele of Top Trial Team, who did a great job - albeit with the Italian temperament!, but a different minder for the British Championship. There was no consistency throughout the season. Although I've met Jack, I can't say I know him that well. However, I think having a consistent minder and a fellow-Brit alondside him will do Dibs the world of good. Jack just learns to eat big Macs, talk like Shaughan and not get his a*** out on camera (but we're saving that photo for a special occasion!…

hi all have you seen any picture of toni bou on montesa yet here are to i have seen

See that the wildcards have been annouced for the indoor rounds. Jeroni Fajardo and Taddy Blazusiak are in for all rounds. So much for giving other youngsters a chance! Looks like the only other rider to get a look in will be Jerome Bethune at a couple of the rounds. Would of thought Dabill would of got at least 1 or 2 rides.

Obviously Bou and Dabill are on montesa but different teams. There was rumours about Fajardo moving to beta to join freixa before christmas, I thought that after the new year some official news would come out? Has there been anything official? Is anyone else on the move? Will beta be using the 4t on the wtc?
